Beware "CNN.com Daily Top 10" Emails; Actually Malware
Thousands (possibly millions) of users are receiving what looks like an innocuous daily missive from CNN.com (it sails right through spam filters), offering links to the "Daily Top 10" stories and videos. Flag these emails as spam, and do not click the links inside.

Dealing with Disgusting Emails
I keep getting disgusting emails. I tried to have it changed but my ISP's process is so difficult I can't figure it out. Can I get a second email address?

Watch Out for Scam Emails from the IRS
The spammers are at it again. There are reports of fake emails from the IRS telling you of a $63 refund. These are FAKE, do not respond to them. They are phishing for your personal information for identity theft purposes. I just saw this on the news. The IRS reports they do not send out emails.
